With years of experience in the healthcare industry and the DoD, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by healthcare organizations when it comes to data security, strategy, enterprise risk, compliance and best practices.My passion for healthcare technology and information security has driven me to develop and implement innovative strategies, frameworks and roadmaps that protect patient data while enabling the delivery of high-quality care. I have a proven track record of building and leading successful security teams and implementing custom security programs that exceed regulatory requirements and industry best practices.In addition to my expertise in information security, I am also well-versed in healthcare compliance, risk management, and privacy.
